Cant vote against datacenters if you’re dead. Also, fantastic way to remove the parasites taking up energy for their useless pursuits, like daily life.
1 hourOur Amazon processing centers are all set to discharge “treated” 95-degree water into our waterways. Board of Supervisors isn’t concerned. Good times.

I remember when that futurism site was a weird news site about utopic things. Now it’s dystopic as hell, and this scares me a lot, because if even they don’t have good hopes for the future, things are REALLY bad

“When the board shared that it found a substance in the city’s wastewater — not public drinking water — Fortis immediately stopped discharging industrial wastewater and began hauling it offsite,” a Meta spokesperson told Cowboy State.
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: Well the ship was towed outside the environment.
Interviewer: Into another environment…?
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: No, no it’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not in the environment.
Interviewer: No but from one environment to another environment…?
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: No it’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not in an environment.
Interviewer: Well what’s out there?
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: Nothings out there!
Interviewer: There must be something out there…?
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: There is nothing out there, all there is is sea, and birds, and fish.
Interviewer: And?
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And
20,000 tons of crude oil. truckloads of deadly bacteriaInterviewer: And what else?
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And a fire.
Interviewer: And anything else?
Bob Collins - Australian Senator: And the part of the ship that the front fell off. But theres nothing else out there. It’s just a complete void.

Zuck and the entire board should face both civil and criminal charges.
Apparently that particular bacteria is basically everywhere on the environment and amounts of it around is pretty harmless. Datacenter just offered a nice and warm environment for it to prosper and then dumped the shitload of bacteria into water treatment system and the treatment plants can’t manage that much of it properly.
Also, while it could be deadly, it’s more likely that you’ll have couple of miserable days on the porcelain throne. But almost any underlying condition (being old, having any kind of gut issues, having flu…) can tip the scale and instead of literally shitty ilness you’ll end up in a box.
While Meta is of course guilty here on multiple things one might argue that local government is equally responsible since they allowed Meta to connect their sewer pipe in the first place without proper precautions. But maybe Zuck just had to have a new limousine or whatever so responsibility part was skipped.

Wow, good thing this company has a squeaky clean reputation otherwise or this might tarnish their reputation.

Let me explain my comment because apparently it flew over your head: OC used sarcasm to highlight that they in fact have a horrible reputation. I made a joke to extend on OC’s joke highlighting the fact that they might not even know what a reputation is, let alone reflect over their own.

A joke is like dissecting a frog. You understand it better but the frog dies in the process. A bad joke is still a bad joke, but the real joke is someone who is whooshing something because he just didn’t get it.
Does a good joke start with a dead frog or does the frog have to die during the process of dissection?

Bacteria? If it came from the computers, it should have been viruses.
